Podcasts about Ruslan

In this episode, Ruslan opens up about a dark season in his life — even as a Christian — when selfish ambition led him to one of his lowest moments on stage. He shares the story of his disastrous House of Blues show, the lessons learned about godly vs. selfish ambition, and how viewing ambition as stewardship changed everything. Learn how to pursue your calling without letting pride or apathy derail you.

In this powerful episode, the story of Brock Purdy — once laughed at as “Mr. Irrelevant,” the very last pick of the NFL draft — becomes a vivid picture of how God chooses the overlooked and extends mercy to the outsider. Ruslan walks through Purdy's unlikely rise from underdog to NFL starter, tying it to Romans 9 and the truth that God's mercy is not based on our status, pedigree, or works, but on His grace alone.The conversation dives into deep questions about God's mercy, fairness, and how salvation works — whether it's earned, chosen, or simply received as a gift. Along the way, Ruslan shares his own reflections, weaving together scripture, real-life examples, and encouragement for those who feel disqualified or forgotten.If you've ever wondered whether you belong in God's story, this episode will remind you: mercy is for the humble, the outsider, the underdog — for all who will receive it.

Did Apple Accidentally Preach the Gospel? | Rick Sherman's Rescue & 1 Corinthians 15In this episode, we explore how Apple's powerful commercial about Rick Sherman—a man rescued from drowning thanks to his Apple Watch—mirrors the good news of Jesus. Ruslan unpacks how Rick's desperate cry for help parallels our own spiritual condition: drowning without Christ, dead in our sin, yet rescued by grace.Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, we discuss what it means to stand on the gospel, why it's trustworthy, and how it transforms us daily—not just once, but continually. We also reflect on how even in our struggles, God's grace sustains and sanctifies us over time.This episode combines cultural commentary, biblical teaching, and a reminder that we never graduate from the gospel—we keep leaning on it, just as Rick will never forget the watch that saved his life.

In this powerful episode, Ruslan sits down with actor Nick Alvarez—best known for his role in The Chosen—to unpack his incredible journey through Hollywood, faith, and family legacy. From being cast in a Pampers commercial as a toddler to almost walking away from acting for soccer, Nick opens up about the real grind of being a working actor, including countless auditions, rejection, and the emotional toll of trying to "make it."He shares how growing up in a faith-influenced household with a pastor grandfather laid the foundation for his eventual spiritual awakening. But it wasn't until the industry pressures and the isolation of COVID hit that he found a deep, personal faith in Jesus.The conversation also dives into the tension between craft and clout in today's acting world—how influencers are landing roles without traditional training, and what it means to stay rooted in purpose when the industry often rewards popularity over skill.This is a raw and inspiring conversation about calling, perseverance, and how God's timing always wins out in the end.

In this powerful conversation, Ruslan sits down with Father Josiah Trenham, a prominent Eastern Orthodox priest, author, and YouTuber, for an in-depth dialogue about sacred architecture, spiritual formation, and reclaiming the culture for Christ.Father Josiah shares the incredible story of how his Riverside parish began in a hot, windowless warehouse next to a train track—and how, through faith, grit, and community, it became a breathtaking church modeled after a 13th-century Greek structure. They explore why Orthodox churches are lavishly built, the deep symbolism behind facing east in worship, and why believers literally spit west when renouncing Satan.The discussion expands into critiques of modern universities and hospitals, the rise of secularism, and how Christians have slowly retreated from institutions they once built—from Ivy League schools to popular art and culture. Father Josiah argues that this retreat stems from cold hearts more than just cultural pressure, urging believers to reorient their lives around God's kingdom, not escape the world but transform it.Whether you're curious about Orthodox tradition, hungry for spiritual depth, or wrestling with how to live out your faith in a secular age—this episode will challenge, inspire, and reawaken your vision.

Why I Haven't Converted to Orthodox or Catholic ChristianityIn this thought-provoking episode, Ruslan KD unpacks the real reason he hasn't converted to Eastern Orthodoxy or Catholicism—despite growing up Oriental Orthodox and having deep respect for high church traditions. Drawing from personal experience, theological study, and conversations with priests across Christian streams, Ruslan explores the debate around apostolic succession and the structure of church leadership. He challenges the common assumption that Protestants lack historical or biblical legitimacy and explains why many remain unconvinced by the high church claim to be the "one true church." This episode also features insights from the YouTube channel Biblical Understanding and tackles early church writings from Ignatius, Clement, and Jerome. Whether you're Protestant, Orthodox, Catholic, or just curious, this conversation sheds light on the theological framework behind Ruslan's convictions—and why he believes Scripture remains the final authority.

In this episode, Ruslan KD dives into what he believes is one of the most destructive teachings influencing Christians today: the idea that "all sin is the same." Prompted by a confrontational Instagram DM and recent heartbreaking revelations about Christian artists like Michael Tait and leaders like Robert Morris, Ruslan unpacks why this oversimplified view of sin can be harmful—and how it's being used to minimize serious moral failures, even involving minors.Joined by insights from apologist Mike Winger, the episode explores biblical distinctions between sins, consequences, and justice. Ruslan also responds directly to criticism from a viewer who accuses him and other Christian YouTubers of lacking grace. The conversation exposes deeper issues in church culture—how we talk about repentance, restoration, and accountability in the digital age.This episode isn't about cancel culture. It's about clarity, truth, and protecting the vulnerable—while still believing in redemption through Jesus.
